Ablaze – v7

May the Church be ablaze

filled with Your fire;

May the Spirit be burning

within each one.

May tongues of flame

ribbons alight upon us;

May they descend upon us

to give us new life.

Spread Your message

in every tongue, to the nations;

With gifts we have been given

may we transform the earth.

We have hope in this mission

sharing God’s love;

The story of salvation told

in Jesus, the Son.

In Native Tongues – v4

The book, the story opened,

revealed in a blaze, an instant,

in fire on that morning

in words impossible

languages unknown

(to those who were speaking)

made accessible, reachable

in native tongues, in words understood

by the believers gathered

those faithful in Jerusalem

The words of ancient scripture

come alive before them,

the power of that Pentecost

meeting each where they were

spreading God’s love, His truth

His message of reconciliation;

The disciples commissioned

empowered, emboldened,

evangelists now, fishermen speaking

in each one’s native tongue

A violent wind of heaven – v2

A voice of the heavens

a violent wind of heaven

send down, with power

the Spirit fell from heaven

Filling the house, the church

where they had gathered, waiting

for the Spirit to come

as Christ had promised

Falling on them bodily

to set them to the work

To speak to every nation

the power of the Word

A storm of heaven – v2

Not a gentle breeze

wafting through the windows

a whisper on the clouds

a murmur in the sky

a storm of heaven

filling the space

their lives forever changed

when the Spirit fell

descending from heaven

life came to them

new, alive, with them

their call to bear witness

to the risen Christ

our hope for salvation

for life after this life

by the Spirit’s power

explaining Pentecost – v2

Peter, in real-time,

as the Spirit gave him power,

standing up before them

explaining Pentecost

the power given

God’s Spirit indwelling

enabling them to speak

in languages unknown

Emptied of Self – v2

To be truly filled

filled with the Spirit

to be guided

to do God’s work

We need to be empty

emptied of self

to be a vessel, willing,

ready to be filled
